growth equity modeling question
Anyone able to help with the below?
Situation - Considering a $50mn investment into a company ($30mn of the $50mn would purchase common equity from existing shareholders, with the remainder going to the company in the form of a convertible preferred investment.) The founder will roll his existing 5% stake in the business. Post investment, we would have 60% basic as-converted ownership. Our investment implies a valuation of 3x 2021E revenue ($20M rev). We intend to put a management option pool representing 10% of basic post-close shares (4 of 10 goes to founder) in place struck at the same price as our investment.

Hope that helps.
Is this the whole question? Maybe I'm dumb but I understood this as
It $60m valuations I'm assuming this is Pre-money as post-money is $110m
you calculate the price per share based on the $30m, I assume as its is a CLN the remainder will convert post-investment (is it the identical PPS or a discount to this investment)
The owner will be diluted but if he is rolling his 5% you need to make up the shortfall to ensure he doesn't lose.
The ESOP is also dilutive post-close you will have to adjust and make sure that your ownership is still 60% and the owner still has 50%
you can back-solve the ownership with the pre-money to get share's
it looks something like this
Number of shares from convertible note = Convertible note amount / Conversion price
Number of shares from convertible note = $20 million / $18.33 per share = 1,090,909 shares
Total number of shares = (Post-money valuation after common equity conversion + Convertible note amount) / Price per share
Total number of shares = ($90 million + $20 million) / $18.33 per share = 6,250,000 shares
Price per share = (Post-money valuation after common equity conversion + Convertible note amount) / Total number of shares
Price per share = ($90 million + $20 million) / 6,250,000 shares = $16 per share
So, the investor is paying $16 per share for a 60% ownership stake in the company. The share price before the investment was:
Pre-money share price = Pre-money valuation / Total number of shares
Pre-money share price = $60 million / 10 million shares = $6 per share
Agree question seems incomplete or a little strangely drafted. OP should clarify given we are taking time to respond. Caveat that I'm not in VC / GE so not my expertise. But curious to see if we can solve this.
1. How do you come up with $18.33?
2. Why do you add the $30 to post-money. That is not new money but rather secondary.
3. If founder rolls 5%, then investor owns 95% of common plus has a convert. The math for getting to 60% isn't really possible here?? Unless you assume converts in new round with more money?
4. You are converting based off of $30mm, not $20mm. Remember, $30 is the secondary
5. When you say "Total number of shares = (Post-money valuation after common equity conversion + Convertible note amount) / Price per share
Total number of shares = ($90 million + $20 million) / $18.33 per share = 6,250,000 shares". To my point above, post-money should be $60. Also, shouldn't $110mm/$18.33 = 6,000,000?
6. When you say "Price per share = (Post-money valuation after common equity conversion + Convertible note amount) / Total number of shares
Price per share = ($90 million + $20 million) / 6,250,000 shares = $16 per share" I think the math from $5 isn't consistent, unless you factored in MIP somewhere here. Also your division should equal $17.6 and not $16?
7. When you say investor is paying $16 for 60%. So if shares are 6.25mm. 60% = 3.75mm shares * $16 = $60mm of value. But he put $50mm in, and then there was a MIP that was dilutive. How do you explain that?
Tone is hard on the internet, so not being a prick / jerk at all. Maybe you take another stab at this.
If anyone else can chime in, how would the conversion lead to dilution of the investor's holdings. He has 95% pre MIP and 85.5% post-MIP. Conversion will only give him more shares??? Is the question just plain wrong? Or poorly worded? Or maybe I'm missing something.
